I used this glue the handle back on a coffee cup. I suppose it's good for frags on plugs. Other than that, it would be my least fave option.

The sludge pre and post flushing for me was quite different.

Take out all the prefilters, hook it to the water and blast it. The air kicks all the sludge out.

What I find particularly disappointing is the lack of full tank shots. I got to see one and I have to say this is a very impressive tank!

Further, I used to run 2 x 400w on my 75g, which was 18x48 foot print. Worked out well. This is overall a bigger area, so should be fine. I have a big chiller :)
